Guy Has Left the Building

I have been by myself since yesterday. Guy had to do his annual dove hunting. Next I am sure he will say he has to go deer hunting. I am not into hunting animals and killing them. I know lots of guys are but guess I have never known anyone who done that. My Dad didn't and my brothers didn't. I feel sorry for those deer with the sad looking eyes. They know what is going to happen to them I am sure.

I had started a job on Monday doing child care in the peoples home while they work. Tuesday night I got that stomach virus that is going around. There older child that I wasn't keeping stayed home from school that first day but stayed in her room. She had the virus. She only came out a few times to get something to eat so I didn't think I would get it.

The next night I started getting chills. I woke up at 4 am throwing up and feeling like I was going to pass out when I stood up. Not good since Guy had made plans to leave that day for Kerrville. He decided to stay home and help me that day. Wonders will never cease. I have to admit he done a good job of taking care of me. He went and bought me 7ups and soup. Waited on me hand and foot. I was very grateful for that. I could hardly eat anything because I was so sick to my stomach.

That stomach virus only lasts for one day at least. But it leaves you very weak cause it has just drained you. I still feel a little weak today. And Guy waited one day but he was not going to wait any longer. I really thought he would. I got surprised. He did take me to breakfast at Oak St. Café. After we got back home he was gone though.

I was feeling kind of down because I was just getting over being sick. He went to a friends ranch and I didn't even hardly hear from him yesterday at all. Finally last night he called to check on me.  By then I was a little upset with him.

This morning he texted me some saying he was trying to find doves to shoot. He only found one all day he said. I went thru all of this alone for him to shoot one dove? Makes me wonder how our married life will be? If the situation were reversed I don't think I would leave him alone for three or four days while I was enjoying myself with friends.  I have a little more compassion than that. Makes me wonder if I am doing the right thing.

Only time will tell......
